Growing Guide
1. Soil Preparation:
Amend your garden soil with plenty of aged manure or compost to provide essential nutrients and improve drainage. Using black plastic mulch can help warm the soil in cooler climates.
2. Planting:
You can sow seeds directly outdoors once the danger of frost has passed and the soil is warm. Alternatively, start seeds indoors in individual pots a few weeks before the last expected frost date for a head start.
3. Care During Growth:
Water young vines regularly to establish a strong root system. As fruits begin to ripen, reduce watering to concentrate the sugars and enhance sweetness. Using floating row covers can protect young plants from pests.
4. Harvesting:
Your Sugar Cube Cantaloupes are ready for harvest when they are fully colored, emit a sweet, fragrant aroma, and the stem separates easily from the fruit with a gentle twist (known as "full slip"). For the best flavor, store harvested melons at room temperature.
